Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Approximately one hour into the game, after Hamilton’s demented mother started acting creepier than usual, I fearing for my sanity, quit the game and returned to my desktop to stare at the soothing space field that I have set as my wallpaper. However, I got distracted by an out of…

Last week, I reviewed the new Apple TV. While I was a fan of the previous models of Apple’s little entertainment box, I was really keen on this new model because, with a hard drive built into it, it’s also a remarkably effective little game console. It’s going to take…

On Halloween night, I was driving alone, in the dark and on a rain swept highway. An endless night, as if the city had been struck down by an evil curse. Alas as I sped around a corner, pulling the handbrake to create a nice drift, I saw a glimmer…

Xbox One’s upcoming update is their best to date, promising an interface that makes sense and speedier access to information. The most interesting feature, though, is backwards compatibility with certain Xbox 360 games. Related reading: What to expect from Xbox One’s home screen post-update.

Life Is Strange’s second season confirmed by Dontnod cofounder

Dontnod Entertainment/Life is Strange/News

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Almost everyone who has played Life Is Strange has fallen in love with it. The gameplay was great and the story was absolutely phenomenal. The characters were relatable and loveable, yet flawed. And the decision that needed to…

Telltale Games is very sneaky. A week after the launch of Minecraft: Story Mode’s first episode, it suddenly launches episode two with no warning. Not that I’m complaining, as I enjoyed the first episode but felt it was more of a prologue than an entire episode, and all of a…

I have an fascination with water. Give me a camera and I can spend a whole day photographing the ocean, a river or a waterfall, for example. It’s not just that water is so essential to life that it appeals to me; it’s the aesthetics of water that I find…
